The LINGUIST List strongly encourages employers to engage in non-discriminatory hiring practices. We urge employers not to discriminate on the grounds of race, ethnicity, nationality, disability, age, religion, gender, or sexual orientation. However, we have no means of enforcing these standards.

Job seekers should pay special attention to language in ads regarding employment requirements and are encouraged to consult our international employment page at http://linguistlist.org/jobs/jobnet.html. This page has been set up so that people can report on the employment standards of various countries.

There will also be a one-year position (English Department) for someone (Maître de Conférences/lecturer or PR) with a specialization in ESL or ELT ('didactique')

Requirements: The candidate should have a PhD and (the equivalent of) the 'habilitation à diriger des recherches' or should already hold a Professor position. The successful candidate must be authorized to work legally in France by Sept.1, 2012, the start date of these positions (if approved).

Teaching: The candidate appointed will be expected to teach at the graduate level and undergraduate level and he/she will integrate the research group STL (http://stl.recherche.univ-lille3.fr/).

Procedure: The vacant positions will be officially announced in February or March 2012 in the 'Journal Officiel de la République Française'. They will also be published on the Lille 3 web site. In principle (in accordance with recent changes in the regulations), it is possible to apply directly to the University that is opening positions, provided the candidate holds a comparable position. However, it is strongly recommended, also for PR positions, to apply for a 'qualification' by the 'Conseil National des Universités' (CNU). The 'liste de qualification' is essentially a shortlist of candidates considered to be eligible for vacant positions.

In order to get qualified, it is necessary to register on the official site of the Ministère de l'Enseignement supérieur et de la Recherche before October 27 (16h, Parisian time), stating your intention to apply for a qualification at the desired level (PR). Candidates applying for a job in English linguistics/translation are advised to ask for a qualification both in the 7th ('Sciences du Langage') and in the 11th section ('Langue, littérature et civilisation des pays anglo-saxons'), for a job in German linguistics/ translation, candidates should apply for a qualification in the 12th section ('Langues et littératures germaniques et scandinaves'). The submission of the actual application file, both electronically and on paper, will be the second stage in the process.
